A Lloyds Bank branch.

Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland, which are all part of the Lloyds Banking Group, will shut at least 214 bank branches in 2025 and 2026, after the Group announced a further 136 closures.

Below, we've rounded up the planned closures for each brand and what the alternatives are if you still want face-to-face banking. Click on your bank's name for a full list of the branch closures announced so far:

  • Lloyds – 61 more branches closing (103 in total).

  • Halifax – 61 more branches closing (84 in total).

  • Bank of Scotland – 14 more branches closing (27 in total).

Alternative ways to bank face-to-face with Lloyds, Halifax or Bank of Scotland

Here's what to try if your local branch is closing:

  • Use one of the Group's sister bank branches. As of January 2025, Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland customers can use branches across any of the three banks for everyday banking, such as making cash deposits, withdrawals and paying in cheques. Find your nearest Lloyds, Halifax or Bank of Scotland branch – but be aware that this branch could end up closing, too.

  • Check if a Lloyds, Halifax or Bank of Scotland 'community banker' is visiting your area. Community bankers will have a dedicated office space in a local venue. You can chat to them in private and they can offer support with account enquiries, but they don't offer cash or counter services. Check if a community banker is visiting your area and whether you'll need to book an appointment on the Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland websites.

  • Head to a nearby Post Office. You can withdraw cash and make deposits into your bank account via the Post Office.

For full details on your options, see our Bank branch alternatives guide.

If you need branch access and don't have alternative services nearby, consider switching

If you no longer want to stay with Lloyds, Halifax or Bank of Scotland, you might want to consider switching to a bank that does have a local branch nearby – although bear in mind there's no guarantee that won't close as well.

  • First Direct – get a free £175 for switching, plus access to a 7% regular saver, fee-free spending overseas and a £250 0% overdraft. To get the free cash, you can't have ever had any account with First Direct, and you can't have had an account with HSBC since January 2018.

    First Direct doesn't have any branches of its own, but First Direct customers can use HSBC branches to pay in cheques, as well as deposit and withdraw cash. So, it could be an option if you have an HSBC branch nearby. HSBC pledged in August 2024 not to close any further branches until at least 2026.

  • Nationwide FlexDirect – get a free £175 for switching, plus 5% interest on up to £1,500, 1% cashback for 12 months and access to a 6.5% regular saver. To get the free cash, you can't have switched to a Nationwide account, or have received switch cash from Nationwide, since 18 August 2021.

    Nationwide pledged in 2019 to keep all of its current bank branches open until at least the start of 2028.

  • Santander Edge – get a free £150, plus access to a 6% easy-access saver and 1% cashback on bills. To get the free cash, you can't have had a switch bonus from Santander since September 2021, and you must be switching from a non-Santander, Cahoot or Cater Allen account.

  • TSB Spend & Save – get a free £100, plus £10 a month cashback for six months, plus a choice of an extra reward in September. To get the free cash, you can't have had a switch bonus from TSB since 1 October 2022.
